Services
Available for Engineering Engagements
Alongside our own products, we take on backend engineering and technical consulting work — bringing the same engineering rigour we apply to our own platforms to your systems.
WHAT WE OFFER
Hands-on backend engineering
Django & Python backend development
API design and integration
Database design and data modelling
Fintech and payments integrations
EdTech and learning platform engineering
Bug fixes, refactoring & maintainability improvements
AI tooling & MCP server development
AI tooling & MCP server development
We build custom integrations and tools that connect AI Language Models to your internal systems, APIs, or workflows. In practice, that means your team can ask an AI to pull data from your systems, update records, or run reports — without switching tools.
WHO IT'S FOR
Teams that need extra backend hands
Scale-ups that need an experienced Django/Python engineer to help build out features, integrations, or backend services without slowing down their existing team.
Startups building their first serious system — one that needs to be correct, secure, and maintainable from day one, not just shipped fast.
Companies that need a reliable pair of hands on a specific backend project or integration, without committing to a full-time hire.
Solo operators and creators who don't need a full engineering team — just a custom tool that automates your workflow, connects your platforms, or gives your audience something unique. We can build it, typically in days rather than months, with AI-assisted development keeping costs down.
WHY AVACODE
Production experience, not theory
AvaCode is led by Payam Najafizadeh, a software engineer with over a decade of experience writing backend code for companies including Klarna and Brite Payments — production fintech environments where reliability, security, and correctness aren't optional. That experience is what we bring to every engagement.
We also maintain django-email-learning, an open-source Django library used in production. Publishing it openly is a direct signal of how we write code: clean, documented, and built to be maintained by someone other than us.
In short — we've shipped production code in demanding environments, and we write code other engineers can pick up.
HOW WE WORK
Engagement types
Project-based
A defined scope — a backend rebuild, an API, an integration — delivered end to end with a clear timeline.
Part-time retainer
Ongoing backend development on a recurring basis, for teams that need extra hands without a full-time hire.
Technical consulting
Focused help on a specific backend question, bug, or integration — short engagements scoped to a clear deliverable.
